DOWNRIGHT DELICIOUS DEEP CONDITIONING CHALLENGE 2009 - PART 3!!!

[Twisties]

Keeping up with challenge...DCing with Coconut Oil and Aubrey GPB w/heat tonite.

 

[unique4lyfe33]

I DCd w/ Silk Elements w/o heat for an hr

 

[sevetlana]

My first DC of the week. I am using Vitale Olive Oil Hair Mayonnaise. It has proteins such as oat and hydrolyzed soy, and some other ingredients. This is my second time using it. The first time I used it I added honey, I noticed less hair coming out it the comb my hair felt a little hard but when it dried it was nice and soft.

ok so that is it for now.

 

[TexturedTresses]

i'm dcing with keracare moisturizing conditioner for color treated hair. so far i don't like the consistency. it feels gummy.... hopefully it feels nice when i rinse.

eta: it felt really nice when i rinsed and made detangling and rollersetting a DREAM!!!!

 

[Tarae]

Ooh, I almost forgot about this thread.
Last night I DC'd with Kenra MC & HSR for about 30 min under the dryer. At first my hair felt a little I didn't know what was going on.

But after rinsing a bit, the slip was crazy and my hair felt great. I usually don't mix unless I'm trying to get rid of something but this felt great on my hair.

 

[thaidreams]

I'm presently DC w/Aubrey's and honey.

 

[Shay72]

Keep the protein mild for a now and only use a moderate to hardcore protein if your hair has way too much stretch in it okay?

I plan to use Hairveda's Moist Condition Pro which has a balance of protein & moisture.

Even better! Good luck Shay.

I definitely noticed an increased growth rate, but that I have to look at the MT for that, as well. What I noticed more, was just overall health. It's softer yet stronger. It's easier to detangle. It stays moist for a week at a time - it's just happier, period.

That's right JK, you are using the MT regularly.
How is that going for you? I Hope well!

 

[PuffyBrown]

Oh honey no worries.
I am just now reading it. OM Goodness! There was a lot of catching up to do!

Obviously I don't backtrack in this thread...girl naw that's not my normal amount of times dc'ing lol. In the summer, I try to do 1-2/wk but since it's been so cold, I've been doing good to get 1 done in a week, sometimes 2 wks hence my reason for joining this challenge . I have more accountability so I'm on it again. I forgot how much I actually liked to dc!

[mommyoftheyear]

Ladies about to wash dc and rollerset. I feel so left out w/o a camera you just wait when I get one you guys are going to be sick of looking at me !!!

 

[malachi74]

do y'all think it's too much to be DCing every other day? That's what I've just decided on but it looks so frequent when I actually wrote it down on my calendar. I hope my hair thanks me! I'll be doing a protein once every 2 weeks.

 

[JustKiya]

That's right JK, you are using the MT regularly.

It's going well. I need to get back on the wagon - I've started experimenting with different/faster styles since I have more length, and the scalp is a bit harder to get to, now.

WHAT!?!?! Two new DC's - no cones, no petroluems? Thank you for sharing!!! (esp. the ingredients - I love it when ladies do that!)

do y'all think it's too much to be DCing every other day? That's what I've just decided on but it looks so frequent when I actually wrote it down on my calendar. I hope my hair thanks me! I'll be doing a protein once every 2 weeks.

Your hair will tell you if it's too much - it'll start getting really soft, and extra stretchy, and feel 'mushy'. If it happens, don't panic - just toss in a protien treatment, and back away from the DC's (reduce the frequency). I always like getting my hair to the over moisturized point, because then I know it's full of moisture, and if I can maintain just slightly below that level, my hair will be super happy. It's kinda like filling up a cup in a dark room, blindfolded. I can't tell how full it is til it overflows, but then I know it's full.

I think this is a lot of manipulation for sure but watch your hair closely and you can determine whether or not it's good for your hair, okay?

I've had the green one, along w/the rinse for a while now. It's alright...I was just eyeballing the Doctor one today. Thanks for posting the ingredients!

It smells really good. The Dr. Caballo IMO is like a light reconstructor based on the protein and keratin contents. I thought it left my hair strong. The Crece Pelo left me with soft hair with a lot of slip. It is like a 8 out of 10 on the moisture factor. I really like it. Not better than my Kenra though.

 

[lennet93]

Girl lennet, I just added a few of these to my wish list on sallys.com. I want to try the GVP Paul Mitchell the conditioner and the biolage conditioning balm. There are others, but for now, those two are at the top of my list. I really want the jojoba, olive oil, and tea tree Hair One cleansing conditioners as well.

ETA: Ooooh, I forgot, I want the GVP K-Pak conditioner too.

I want to try the GVP Paul Mitchell as well...the biolage conditioning balm is . I have the GVP K Pak reconstructor but I havent really figured out how I want to use it yet.

Well this is a protein conditioner, so you can either use it as a 15-20 protein treatment followed by a moisturizing DC like the conditioning balm or you can mix them together and DC for 30 minutes. You may also choose to DC on dry hair and follow up with a moisturizing conditioner. Just a few thoughts on how you can use it.

 

[miss Congeniality]

I am about to DC all night with mixed chicks deep conditioner.

 

[Butterfly08]

2nd DC of the year - Aveda Damage Remedy Treatment with heat.

 

[Ganjababy]

Today. Deep conditioned for 2 hours with Aveda Damage Remedy treatment followed by DR conditioner. Hmmm Hmmm, Delicious hair.

OMG What a coincidence

 

[naturalness]

Today I deep conditioned with heat on dry hair with ORS Replenishing Conditioner for 15 minutes. I shampooed and followed with Kenra Moisturizing Conditioner and left it on for 15 minutes.

 

[Mandy4610]

Yesterday, I prepooed with OCT and coconut oil and then DCed with AO HSR.
I think I am addicted to DCing so I will be DCing again today or tomorrow. That won't be too much will it?

 

[Mandy4610]

Hey is ORS replenishing pak moisture or protein?

 

[lwilliams1922]

thanks to tiffers encouragement I am now DCing on a regular.

Still, in an interest to maximize time...

Can someone give me pros and cons to DCing on dry hair?

I've been DCing on wet hair either with heat or overnight under a shower cap.

I really like to shampoo and rinse in the shower (without taking 2 showers back to back since I stay 20-30 mins as it is).

Do you still get the same benefits DCing on dry hair?

thanks!

 

[lexi84]

I've been deep conditioning with CPR as a prepoo since the beginning of the year. This is the first time in about 2 years that I havent seen ONE strand of breakage while detangling. I've also been deep conditioning over night at least twice a week.

off topic: I've noticed that my biggest hurdle in retaining length is my addiction to wearing my hair down. I was wearing it down every weekend. I havent worn my hair down since january 1. My new years resolution is to keep it hidden more.
